Under the above caption the MUIR
ray Record contains the annexed ac-
count Of Teddy Guthrie saving the
life of a child. 1t indicated a pres
ence Of mind and cool head under
trying circumstances that is credit
to the man. Guthrie may be classed
in the category of hard citizens by
some people, but this act will be re-
corded in his favor and win make
amends for multitude of misdeeds:
Yesterday forenoon while a party
OF twenty or more gentlemen who
had business at the court house
were standing at Fuller's corner, a
small child was observed on the roof
Of X. s. Burke's residence, which is
situated on the steep mountain side
in the rear of the court house. The
little one, having no sense OF the
dagger before her, started down the
lower side of the roof, which over
hangs an almost perpendicular preci-
pice which, including the side OF
the house, is not less than twenty
feet high, a rough ami ragged mass
cf sharp slate rock. No sooner was
she fairly over the comb of the roof,
which was easily reached upon the
upper side by way Of low shed,
than she began sliding down to the
brink of this fearful fall. The men
were Mortified, and all but one stood
spellbound. L. B. Guthrie caught
the sight, and without waiting to
question possibilities he sprang to
the rescue and almost few over
wood piles, debris aud rocks a dis
tance of fully two hundred and fifty
feet, reaching the bottom OF the
precipice just In time to receive the
little one in his arms and saving her
harmless from what must otherwise
have been a very serious IL not fatal
fall. The crowd sent up cheers and
we'll deserved praises for the brave
act of Teddy, and the hearts Of Mr..
and Mrs. s. w. Darling overflow
with gratitude. 1t was their little
four year old Minnie who was saved.
She had lost some chewing gum
over the roof and started after II.
When she alighted safely In tho
arms Of Teddy, she exclaimed, ''I've
lost my gun" eyes," says Teddy,
"but my little darling, I've saved
your life just by a scracth, a little
scratch on the shin bone. Give me
kiss to cure my shin, and will
give you two bits to spend for more
gum"

Worry, Not Work, KIIls.

''The great man" " says Emerson, lis he
who in the midst Of the crowd keeps with
perfect sweetness the serenity Of solitude" I"
"How many Of the troubles of life" asks
Sir John Lubbock, "are insignificant in
themselves and easily avoidabley" 1t is
not SO much, in most cases, great SORROWS,
diseases or death, but rather the little
daily dyings which cloud over the sun
shine Of life We most of us give ourselves
an immense amount Of trouble, inoumber
ourselves, as it were, on the journey of
life with dead weight of unnecessary
baggage. In that most delightful fairy
tale, "Allcc in Wonderland, the White
Knight IS described a8 having provided
himself on starting for n journey with
variety of odds and ends, including II
mousetrap, in case he was troubled by
mice at night, and IL beehive, in case he

The Dancers Knee Twist.

just as famous old Songs take In the
strange surroundings of Durlesquc, SO
do well known dances. Thus, sailors
hornpipe is generally encOred in panto-
mime, and n spirited "IIighland fling"
sends the average audience into ecstasies.
And so these dances are still taught in the
theatrical dancing academies, with others
in which the 'steps" are exceedingly diff
flcult and intricate Each step has its
technical name, and for pantomime many
dancers merely learn n certain number OF
them and subsequently work them into
dances for themselves. There is curious
twiri OF the leg, known ~ the "knee
twist" which every actor or actress In
tho burlesque aims at mastering. The
knee twist Is like figure in skating-it
may appear easy TO do II before you try,
but not after.-Pal Mall Gazette.

Turks and Persians as Book Lovers.

1t would be strange, indeed, If the
Oriental love of brilliancy in decoration
had not left its mark upon the books of
eastern nations. The Orientals were the
first to apply gliding to book covers;
at least they were the prcceptors OF the
people of Europe In this branch of decor.
ative art. Their books were held in
an estimation that bordercd upon vener
alton. They not only inclosed them In
book cases with glass doors, but they put
each book into an ornamental box, upon
which was written the name of the author
and the title of the book. Byun ingenious
arrangement, consisting Of a cord and
false bottom to the box, the book could,
by simply pulling ON the cord, he made to
issue from its resting place and come out
into full view of the visitor. The cases
were of cedar, ornamented with mother
of pearl and gliding.
In Persia the books are laid flat upon
shelves, fitted into inches in the library
wall and shut in by rich hangings attach
ed TO the ceiling. Tho titts are frequently
fooled upon the edges, usage that is
still followed in some parts Of the globe.
Upon the floor of the Persian library stand
book chests, four feet in height, and in
these likewise are stored the treasures
of the collector. The Booknakcr.

l;npld Rho shooting.

"Shooting at the word Is first rate prac-
Gce. 1t trains tho ego and the hand to
work together and gots the foreilnGer into
the habit Of pressing the trigger at just
the right moment. Grasp the rifle in
the kentucky manner or in Dr. Carver's
style, holding tho butt just below tho cl-
bow, and Keep tho eye fixed upon the
mark. III you can shoot with both eyes
open so much tho better. At the word
'Fircp bring tho butt to tho shoulder
quickly and raise tho barrel until tho
sights are In limo with the mark, pressing
the trigger as soon as you SEQ them In
line. You must shoot aftcr the word
'Eircr and before tho counter finishes
counting three like the tick Of clock.
With practice the rifle will come into po-
sition instantly, tho eye will telegraph to
the foreflnger that tho aim is right and
The finger will press tho trigger uncon-
sciously. Men who practice this stylo OF
shooting can do moro accurate work at
the word than in taking deliberate aim,
and they will fire when the counter says
One
"Another good plan is to take repeat
Ing rife-n Winchester, for eAample--and
try to put as many shots as possible into
the bulls eye as rapidly as tho gun can be
fired. Try for accuracy first and rapidity
by degrees. 1t is well to vary the mark
and not shoot at u round black bulls eye
all the time. Fire Mt swinging balls, sus-
pended bullets, white objects, things Of
irregular shape and neutral color, and
then have somebody toss up balls or blocks
OF wood and shoot them on the wing. 1t
Is not so difficult to hit glass balls in the
air rs some people fancy. That kind Of
shooting, ns performed In the shows, is
nothing but n fake. Tho ball is thrown
from an old fashioned Bogardus trap, that
tosses 1t easily and on just tho same curve
every time. The shooter draws bead on
q certain point on the screen. and when
the ball comes into line he lets her GO
More than that, these fake shooters don't
use bullets. Here Is one Of the Wild West
style Of Winchester cartridges. You see
1t Is brass shell filled with bird shot
That kind Of ammunition is made in large
quantities at the factories for these phe-
nomenal riflemcn. Carver actually shot
bullets his first season, but II was unsafe,
and he adopted the shot cartridge finally.
No man with n bit of sense In his head
would fire rifle bullets around as Buffalo
Bill pretends to do. He might kill some
body n mile Off after smashing u glass bal
in the air. These wonderful fcats Of
shooting glass balls from horseback with
rifle ball are actually performed with
bird shot that scatters over n space Of
several feet Any fair wing shot conldn't
help smashing the balls,-New York Sun.

whether it was an evidence Of favor or of

a bonbon from one side Of the box meant

Mr.. NICHOLAS TRUDGRoE, of
East Galena, Thursday afternoon of
last week found something the
matter with one of his horses, a
three year old colt that had been
running in the pasture. He sent
for Dr. David lIeer, the veterinar-
ian, who discovered that in some
manner probably in jumping a
fence, the animal had run the end
Of rail or stake into the inside of
the tleshy part of his left hind leg
eight or ten inches above the hook
where it had penetrated TO the bone
aud passed upward to the skin on
the book near the crop, where the
end of it could be felt under the
skin. 1t was about four inches
IN diameter and over foot long.
DR.. Heer removed it, and the colt
is in fair way to recoyery.-Gat-
end Gazette.
